Camerahols are dead, long live Vendée Holidays. Just when I thought the time had come for me to perfect the art of selfishly lazing around a pool, a vibrant young couple, Matt and Emily Clark, have recruited me to work with them on the photography, and specialised food photography long weekend courses that are a part of their exciting new activity holidays here in the Vendée. Alumni and alumnae of Camerahols will remember that the main premise of our course was to relax in a peaceful environment with plenty of good food and wine….with the option of looking through the viewfinder of your camera every now and then. Vendée Holidays aspire to the same ethos with the added benefit of enjoying their courses in a luxurious house in the heart of the Vendée countryside…..check out the details on Vendée Holidays….they also offer golfing, cycling and yoga holidays.

About Food,Photography & France

Photographer and film maker living in France. After a long career in London, my wife and I have settled in the Vendee, where we run residential digital photography courses with a strong gastronomic flavour.

Many thanks, Sara…funnily enough I have recently been looking at Emma Hopkins’ portraits on the internet, and then I looked at your blog in which you say you went to an exhibition of hers. From the pictures that I saw, I couldn’t quite get a handle on her….I love portraits, painted, drawn or photographed, so I’m always looking around for new images…speak soon:)

You are a seer! Temperatures are indeed mild which, as the locals remind me, means that the bacteria and microbes are not being killed by freezing temperatures…then again, I don’t think farmers are well known for their ability at spotting silver linings:)

We’re working on some interesting plans with visiting chefs from the UK. We will also be cooking on planchas, in pizza ovens and fire pits…a maybe doing a weekend with Argentinian beef and wines…some interesting stuff:)
